THE EXODI'S BEGINS.

The execution of the anarchists has, in
measure at least, had the salutary effect
many had anticipated it would. 1t has
given anarchists, both in this and for
eign countries, Il far better understand
ing of what liberty in free country
means, and has begotten in them, in
spite of attempts through braggadocio To
conceal it, wholesome fear of govern
mental authority in America. This un-
derstanding and fear will increase with
the years. This is the first really effec
tual blow struck at anarchy in this coun
try, and its effect will be felt III
many directions. 1t will not only
check their lawlessness in word and ac-
tion after their arrival in this coun
try, but will tend to keep them
out and drive them out. "IIow
can they execute these anarchists for
exercising the right Of free speech in
that free country-that country of liberty
where there is no king or emperor"
effectual manner. They have a different
understanding of America and its gov
ernment than theJ ever had before and
will not be so ready hereafter to come
here to ply their deviIsh vocation of
law and order destruction. George
Francis Train is the first anarchist leader
to shake the dust of America from his
feet and seek cline where 'license"
and not 'liberty" prevails. He arrived
at Bangor, Maine. Monday morning and
in reply to the questions of the
omnipresent reporter said 81 will not
longer stay in n country where free
speech is not allowed. / shall go TO ST.
John and expatriate myself forever. If
/ do not like it there, I shall go TO the
Burmudas. This is my farewell 20 Amer
ican soil, and 1 say it without regret. 1t
is poor county. go TO st. John be
cause / hear that in that city there has
been no change since Bunker hill. ! be
lieve that George III. is still living, and
that shall find him there in the old To-
cality."
This is indeed very happy consum-
nation of the belief that the execution
would have tendency to drive anarchists
out of the country. Mr.. Train claims to
have spent $4,000 for the defense. 1t
is to be hoped that victory may follow
victory and decision follow decision, "a
occasion demands rntil all arch-anarch-
lists will be glad to follow Mr.. Trains ex-
ample and quit America.

Consumption.
London NSwE

In two papers comm Unicated to the An
thropological section of the British As
sociation, Mr. g. w. HambIeton has put
forward some suggestions as 10 the cause
and treatment of consumption. While
engaged in some researches upon another
subject, he has noticed that the size and
shape of the chest varied according to
the conditions under which the individual
IL placed. The chest of the average male
child. lie says, is much the same. to what
ever class he may belong, and class types
are apparently induced by the conditions
under which they live. Moreover, proper
treatment can cause ar essentially con-
sumptiv. type TO become strong and Wig
orous. He suggests that the primary
cause of consumption is reduction of
the breathing capacity of the lungs until
they are too small to do their work, the
consequences being local irritation, which
sets up tubercular change. The treat
ment he prescribes is consequently to re-
duce the demand upon the lungs and to
place the patient under such conditions
az will tend TO develop more vigorous
chest. Whatever may be the real value of
these suggestions, they strongly enforce
the necessity of making the proper sx-
psnsion of the chest part of the physi-
cial training of children. especially in the
elementary schools.

Now that j emmy Lind is no more, stories
OF her marvellous career are in oircula-
ton. Five thousand people attended
her first concert in Castle Garden. As
Mr.. Barnum led her toward the foo.lights
the entire audience rose to their feet and
welcomed her with three cheers, accom-
panied by the waving OF thousands of
hats and handkerchiefs and the casting
of bouquets before her. She was evident
ly much agitsted, but the orchestra had
commenced, and before she had sung a
dozen notes of "Casta Diva" she began
to recover her .elf-possession. Toward
the last portion of the csvatins the audi
euce were so completely carried away
that the remainder of the air was drowned
in a perfect tempest of acclamation. The
musical power of Jenny Lind exceeded
all brilliant anticipation. At the conclu.
sion of the concert Jenny Lind was
obliged to appear three times before the
audience could be satisfied, Then they
called vociferously for "Barnum." Ca
his saying that the proceeds were to sc
to charitable objects, it seemed as though
| the audience would go frantic with ar.
] plause.
